Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Surrey & Langley
At Back & Body Wellness Centre, we’re proud to offer a number of different options for treating a variety of conditions, including pelvic floor disorders, which can affect both men and women.
Why Seek Treatment?
Weak or dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles can cause and contribute to a myriad of conditions, including back pain, pain with intercourse, incontinence, and repeated groin strains (just to name a few). Since the pelvic floor is the only stabilizing muscle that is oriented in the horizontal plane, it performs a critical role in spinal stability during all activities. Often chronic back, pelvic or groin pain that does not resolve with usual treatment is related to poor pelvic floor muscle function. Since the pelvic floor muscles along with the deep abdominal and back muscles work together to provide lumbar stability and weakness in one can impact function in the other muscles, it is important to assess all of the deep stabilizers together.
Care for Men and Women
Many women have come to us to strengthen pelvic floor muscles after giving birth, as pregnancy can cause them to weaken post-partum should they undergo tearing or cutting. Even supporting the weight of the baby for many months can lead to pelvic floor muscle problems.
In men, pelvic health is important for sexual function, and may improve things like Erectile Dysfunction (ED). In addition to other causes, ED can result due to weakened pelvic muscles. When a man is sexually excited, muscles in the penis relax. This allows for increased blood flow to the penis. As the penis chambers fill with blood, the penis grows rigid. The inability to relax the penile muscles can change erectile function. Pelvic Health Physiotherapy can help men learn how to relax the penile muscles and pelvic muscles, improving sexual function.
